maybe I'll borrow dj's technical texts.
Seriously, I'll try the soothing music and look into the melotonin, dove.
Certain signals (some more powerful than others, pills, music), can tell your body it's time for bed. I've just heard it best not to take Ativan for longer than a 3 month period.
Dove, I think this is an ADHD thing. I feel best on 7 1/2 hours of sleep, but cannot get out of bed for anything other than a job until about 10 am. I try to plan things to get me out of bed but they don't work. sleep is a drug for me. This morning I planned to go for breakfast with someone at 8am, in a sleep drunken stupor, I call them to cancel.
I've tried setting an alarm on the other side of the room, but I get up to turn it off.Well at least I can hold down a job...usually that is.
Any more ideas out there? They are much appreciated.
Still feeling ugly, but looking pretty good (except in the mornings!), Janice. Thanks.
Dove, I wish when I was a little girl, I had a mother like you.
